"Dining", digestion, the Dalai Lama, and a toast to the Crystal Corner in the April 27 issue of "Isthmus"

What can you find in this week's Isthmus? Highlights from the latest issue follow:

If you like food, you're in luck: This week's Isthmus contains Dining, our compendium of all things good to eat in the Madison area. It's tasty.

Speaking of chewing (nice segue), you'll also find "Health, Beauty, Fitness" in this issue, with an emphasis on, uh, digestion.

Our cover story, the alliterative "Dairyland Dharma," focuses on Madison's Buddhist community and the upcoming visit by the Dalai Lama.

In news, Marc Eisen and Vikki Kratz take on the controversial Gen. Vang Pao.

In clubs, Rich Albertoni raises a glass to the Crystal Corner Bar, which turns 60 this year, and doesn't look a day over 50. Music coverage goes from the Motorz to Mozart. And in theater, we review Urinetown. Full circle.
